North
Carolina has put in place a statewide voter registration/results reporting
system and they are requiring the counties to export election night results to
it. At present, the North
Carolina GEMS users must edit the Standard Export which is available in
GEMS. For their convenience, I
would like to request the creation of a “North Carolina Export”. The parameters for the export are as
follows:
Enter
one set of quotation marks ( “ ) in the Field Delimiter
field.
Make
sure the Quote Strings checkbox is Unchecked (i.e.
blank).
Of the
checkboxes in the Export Results For area, only “Individual Precincts” should
be checked. The “Election
Summary” box should be unchecked.
The
field titled Reporting should read “All
Races”.
On the
lower left, in the Row area, only the Candidate box and Write-Ins box should
be checked. All of the other
boxes in this area should be unchecked.
On the
lower right, in the Column area, only the following boxes should be
checked:
County
ID
Precinct
ID
Precinct
Label
Race
ID
Race
Label
Candidate
ID
Candidate
Label
Count
All
other boxes in the Column area must be
unchecked.
The
North Carolina GEMS users must have the ability to edit the export so that
they can enter a state-issued number (specific to each county) in the County
field.
I
assume that if/when this is created, it will be added to a 1.17 GEMS
release. The North Carolina
counties are using a variety of GEMS releases, so they will all need to be
upgraded to whatever release contains the North Carolina Export. When project manager assignments are
made for the North Carolina accounts, that person (or persons) will need to
coordinate with the North Carolina accounts to do the
upgrades.
